The Bad Guys Love The Law When It Is On Their Side
I once wrote a line in a play that I cribbed from my mother that always got applause, “Just because it’s legal, don’t make it right.” I’d like to assume that most folks who might read a thing or two here understand that far too many laws have been written not to protect everyone or make things right, but instead to often give cover for blatant acts against the little guy in favor of the big guns.
Copyright laws when used as a weapon to further corporate interests and feather CEO nests have been one of the favorite tools for the bad guys. That’s been an ever increasing problem paralleling the advance of technology as more and more companies reject the idea that if you bought it you own it, and still claim rights that too often are protected by laws that were never written to contemplate the world we find ourselves in.
With a hat tip to Denny Henke, take a look at this video from Louis Rossmann about a recent example of this.
